Bruce Springsteen Announces 2014 U.S. Tour Dates

In support of his new album, 'High Hopes,' Bruce Springsteen has revealed a five-week tour of the United States. Springsteen is currently touring Australia and New Zealand through March 2.

Springsteen's website lists 15 dates, beginning April 8 in Cincinnati and winding up with two shows at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Ct on May 17-18. This includes a previously announced stop at JazzFest in New Orleans on May 3.

As we reported back in December, Springsteen is focusing largely on markets that were passed over during the 'Wrecking Ball' tour, including Texas, Florida and Nashville. The omission of traditional Springsteen strongholds like New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia and Los Angeles suggest that there are more dates to be announced in the future. Recent tour patterns indicate that Springsteen will tour Europe in the summer, and come back to the U.S. in the fall.

On April 10 -- two days after the tour begins -- the E Street Band will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The ceremony will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
